  8. The Only Five Star General The Air Force Has Had? HENRY “HAP” ARNOLD

  9. Technology influences what important concept of Aerospace Power? Doctrine

  10. Who Launched B-25s off an Aircraft Carrier During WWII Against the Japanese? JIMMY DOOLITTLE

  17. Competencies Core competencies represent the combination of professional knowledge, airpower expertise, and technological know-how that the Air Force brings to any activity across the range of military operations (AFDD-1, p 27)

  18. Competencies Aerospace Superiority Global Attack Rapid Global Mobility Precision Engagement Information Superiority Agile Combat Support

  19. Functions Functions are broad, fundamental and continuing activities of Aerospace Power - not necessarily unique to the Air Force (AFDD-1, p 45)

  20. Functions • Counterair Counterspace • Countersea Counterland • Strategic attack Airlift • Air Refueling Spacelift • Intelligence Counterinformation • Surveillance Reconnaissance • Special Operations Combat Search & Res • Nav & Positioning Weather Service • Command and Control

  21. Doctrine Aerospace doctrine is a statement of officially sanctioned beliefs and warfighting principles that describe and guide the proper use of Air and Space forces in military operations (AFDD-1, p 1)

  22. Current Doctrine • Our current doctrine (belief in the best way to employ aerospace power) is to possess the capability (deterrence) to strategically strike the enemy’s center’s of gravity with precision and impact, at any time, anywhere in the world, thus limiting further escalation of the conflict.
